Just three years after entering No10, the 58-year-old leader closed off his final moment at the despatch box by saying: “We’ve transformed our democracy and restored our national independence as my Rt Hon friend says.

“I’ve helped get this country through a pandemic and help save another country from barbarism.

“And frankly that’s enough to be getting on with. Mission largely accomplished, for now.”
